The performance of a device can be improved by intelligently terminating (or otherwise operationally adjusting) applications, services, or processes that the user is unlikely to access on the device. Information such as system event data and hint data can be obtained from various sources and fed to one or more predictor algorithms, which can determine the likelihood that a user will access various applications over a period of time. Other determinations can be made as well, such as which applications are most likely causing degradation in performance. Various termination actions can be selected to be performed, which can in some cases adjust the applications selected for termination by an operating system of the device. Once a set of actions is selected, those termination actions can be performed for the associated application(s) at least to the extent needed to restore health of the device.
